Abstract
After several decades most of the initial Internet design remains the same. The most important changes just happened on the application and physical layers while network and transport layers remain the same. Internet architecture has been turning into a limiting factor for its own evolution, and currently, several researchers have been working on new approaches that aim at redesigning the architecture. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has been standing out for delivering more flexibility to the network. Based on the SDN paradigm, the Title Model represents a revolutionary approach to reaching out to the applications’ new requirements. The Entity Title Architecture (ETArch) is the materialization of this model, offering improvements concerning the network’s addressing and routing aspects. The programmability at the data link level is essential for the efficient use of network resources, and the ETArch is not restricted only to the software elements of the architecture. The network element responsible for the physical interconnection inside the network must have the capacity to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) requirements driven by the applications, providing support to the communication space.
